-THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY -19 "Peg o' the Ring'' Tenth Episode Grace Cunard and Francis Ford in *^ln the Hands of the Enemy '\ Latest two-reel installment of the Universal SpecialFeature Serial, recounts the escape of Peg from the Mexicans and shows her winning a horse-race. lOCTOR LUND arrives at the Mexican town only to find that Peg has been spirited away by Mrs. Lund's ruffians, as we saw at the close Nine. He rushes out when Flip tells him of her disappearance, seizes a horse and rides at full speed after the kidnappers. He overtakes them and succeeds in snatching Peg from the ruffian who is carrying her on his saddle. He turns and gallops with her safely across the Mexican border and on to American soil. They come up with a patrol of American troops, who at once set out to rescue the Americans in the town. Doctor Lund wishes to go with them, but Peg will not hear of it. "You stay away from Mexico," she says, "You are not the American army." The circus also returns from across the border and Peg rejoins her friends. Flip has a surprise for her. It is a beautiful race horse. She is overjoyed and they decide to enter the horse in the coming races at Tia Juana. Mrs. Lund has entered her own horse in the same race, in a desperate effort to obtain money for her schemes and Peg and Flip are determined to beat her. "Lucile," Peg's horse, is a Kentucky thoroughbred of great reputation. Young Doctor Lund invites Peg to his home to visit his mother. Peg is unwilling to go, but she does not wish to tell the doctor what she knows about his mother and rather than arouse his suspicions, she consents to go. Soon after their arrival the two bicycle cops, who arrested Peg for speeding, and to whom she gave the letter, come to deliver it to her again. They are just about to hand it Mrs. Lund when the young doctor appears and takes charge of it. This is the letter which has been stolen from Flip and which both factions wish to possess. When Peg enters, the doctor offers her the letter, but she begs him to take charge of it, as she has no pockets in her gown. Frank is called away and asks Peg to stay with his mother until he returns. Peg wanders out into the garden. CAST. Peg Grace Cunard Doctor Lund, Junior Francis Ford Doctor Lund, Senior Marc Fenton Mrs. Lund Jean Hathaway Flip, the Clown Pete Gerald Marcus, the Hindoo Irving Lippner and while she is gone Mrs. Lund calls Marcus and his accomplice and lays another trap for her. She says that they can tell Frank that she has been called away. Mrs. Lund takes Peg up to the attic under pretense of showing her something and they lock her in there. Then Mrs. Lund tells the two men that Lucile, the horse, is being shipped to Tia Juana and that they are to get it out of the way. Peg manages to escape from the attic by breaking the skylight and scrambling down the branches of a tree which overhangs the roof. She takes Frank's auto and runs away with it to rejoin the circus. Marcus and his men have in the meantime come up with the train to which the car containing Peg's horse is attached. They succeed in uncoupling this car. Peg, in her flight, runs beside the railroad track. She sees the freight car running wild. It is about to crash into a coming train, which, to her horror, she recognizes as the circus train. She leaps from the auto, clambers up the side of the car, and puts on the brakes just in time to avert a collision. Peg and Flip arrive at Tia Juana for the great race. Peg's jockey is devoted to her and determined to win for her. Mrs. Lund is there determined to spoil Peg's chances. She and her men find it impossible to dope the horse, as Peg catches them at it and, firing at Marcus, hits the bottle of dope out of his hand. They determine to get the jockey. In this they are successful. Mrs. Lund has told her men to bet heavily against Peg's horse and has done so herself. Just before the race is called her men overcome the jockey and injure him. Peg sees that Lucile is not in the line-up. She runs to the jockeys' quarters and finds her boy too hurt to ride. She i-ushes out to the judge's stand and informs them of the injury, asking for time as she wants to ride her horse herself. They consent and she hurriedly dresses for the race in the jockey's clothes. She wins "by a neck" and is carried to quarters on the shoulders of the crowd. She is about to resume her own clothes when Marcus and his man break in and seize her once more. They throw her into an automobile and rush away from the race track with her. \
